The pictures show the former talk show host rocking a one-piece swimsuit while playing with daughter Dakota off the coast of Florida.

After O'Donnell shared the side-by-side comparison photos online, her fans provided a flurry of compliments. "Awesomeness needs no photoshop. you be fine guurl," one user wrote. Said another admirer, "Beautiful just the way you are. Wonderful picture."

The twitpic comes five days after Kerr uploaded an Instagram shot of herself standing with DoutzenKroes and AlessandraAmbrosio backstage at the 2012 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Critics immediately questioned if the Australian beauty's waist had been digitally whittled down.

Kerr responded the controversy on Friday, Nov. 15. "Hi guys, here is the original VS image!" she captioned in the Instagram pic. "When I re-posted the photo this week to support the girls I screen grabbed it off the internet when I was working in Japan. I had no idea it was photoshopped. All good intentions- sorry for the confusion and congratulations to the girls for such a great show!"
